My 2008 Uplander started showing the brake warning light in the dash with an exclamation mark through it some time ago when my wife was driving it. It never did that when I was driving it until today. The light comes on all the time now. When the vehicle is stopped (like at the traffic lights) it shows the annoying light without any noise. But when the vehicle is in motion the bell comes on continuously (same bell as when the seat belts are not bucked up). I suspect it may be some sensor that is dirty or malfunctioning because the feel of the van when driving it is normal.

I had a similar problem with a Ford van years ago, for which the dealer wanted to correct the problem for $100! Then I found out where the culprit sensor was for that and cleaned it - everything returned to normal. So this appears to be the same thing.

Can anyone comment on this issue, and if it is a sensor, where to find that sensor?

TIA,
